    Could be anything and without some more details it's impossible to say.

    A car basically needs three things to run: fuel, spark and air. Sounds kind of simple but if you post some more of the symptoms it would be a lot easier to offer help.

    Symptoms like:
    Does it turn over and just not fire?
    Does it not turn over at all, and if not, does it still make any noise (fuel pump, etc.)?
    Does it fire but won't stay running?

    Once you post more of the symptoms there should be some easy places to start.

    thanks for the quick reply, car turns over strong however will not fire. Have not driven the car in a week went out started the car to warm it up for drive, then it died. Went back in car will turn over no problem however will not fire.

    Let the car sit for about 1 hour then

    Car turned over started for about 2 seconds then shut down, tried again fired and shut down, then it would not fire again... fuel pump? I have no idea.

    Thanks again

    Sounds more fuel related from your description.

    Can you hear the fuel pump running when you first turn the key on? Pop the rear deck and listen when you turn the key on without going all the way to start. You should be able to hear it running. If not the first thing to check is the fuse and relay.
